Araldica 2007 Rive Barbera (Barbera d'Asti Superiore)
- $27
This Barbera shows elegance and harmony with ripe berry notes that are offset by wood spice and mineral notes. The extraction is thick and dense and the wine yields a plush, smooth texture in the mouth with bitter berry nuances on the close.

Araldica 2009 Dolcetto (Dolcetto d'Asti)

The freshness and inherent liveliness of the fruit and the clear overtones of raspberry, blueberry and black cherry are praiseworthy. The wine exhibits a purplish-ruby color with sweet, chewy fruit and dense consistency. Firm tannins are followed by dusty mineral tones. Very nice.

It takes a few minutes to get the best out of this wine. By then the initial cheesiness has worn off, and aromas of mineral, stones and fruit come to the fore. On the palate, the wine shows some good complexity although a short to medium finish.
